INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the exciting world of GPS! Whether you’re a first-time user or a professional navigator, you’ll find the GlobalMap 100 is a full-featured
GPS receiver at a price that was impossible just a few years ago. The
Rockwell ® receiver built inside has 12 channels that will track all of the satellites that are in view of your location. It’s acquisition time and tracking ability are second to none in its class.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) was developed by the United States
Department of Defense as a 24-hour a day, 365 days a year global navigation system for the military. Civilian availability was added (but with less accuracy) using the same satellites. Twenty-four satellites orbit the Earth.
Three of these satellites are spares, unused until needed. The rest virtually guarantee that at least four satellites are in view of anyplace on Earth at all times.
The system requires three satellites in order to determine a position. This is called a 2D fix. It takes four satellites to determine both position and elevation, (your height above sea level - also called altitude.) called a 3D fix.
Remember, the unit must have a clear view of the satellites in order to receive their signals. Unlike radio or television, GPS works at very high frequencies. The signals can be blocked easily by trees, buildings, even your body. Fortunately, they do travel through glass and plastic, so your receiver will work in the car, if it has a clear view of the satellites through the windshield or side windows. Let someone else drive if you use it in a car or other vehicle.
Never use this GPS receiver while operating a vehicle!
The first time you use this unit, walk outside and turn it on in your backyard, an open field or park. Once it locks onto the satellites, you can experiment with it around buildings and trees. This will give you some idea of its sensitivity to blockage.
Like most GPS receivers, this unit doesn’t have a compass or any other navigation aid built inside. It relies solely on the signals from the satellites to calculate a position. Speed, direction of travel, and distance are all calculated from position information. Therefore, in order for it to determine direction of travel, you must be moving and the faster, the better. This is not to say that it won’t work at walking speeds - it will. There will simply be more “wandering” of the data shown on the display.
1
DGPS - What is it?
If you want better performance, (and who doesn’t?) many manufacturers
(including Lowrance) sell a DGPS receiver that attaches to your GPS receiver. The DGPS system transmits correction signals that increase the accuracy of your unit. The DGPS receiver takes signals from these landbased transmitters and gives them to the GPS receiver which then uses them to show a more accurate position. (You can use the signals from all of the Coast Guard DGPS stations for free, by the way.) The downside to this is it requires another piece of electronic gear (the DGPS receiver) which usually isn’t small enough to carry with you, but will work nicely on a vehicle. And you have to be close enough to a station to receive the
DGPS signals.
Don’t Get Lost
Generally, you find that using your GPS receiver without DGPS is both easy and amazingly accurate. It’s easily the most accurate method of electronic navigation available to the general public today. Remember, however, that this receiver is only a tool. Always have another method of navigation available, such as a chart or map and a compass. It’s a good idea to carry spare batteries with you, especially if you’re venturing into unknown territory.
Also remember that this unit will always show navigation information in the shortest line from your present position to a waypoint, regardless of terrain! It only calculates position, it can’t know what’s between you and your camp, for example. It’s up to you to safely navigate around obstacles, no matter how you’re using this product.
GETTING STARTED
Power
The GlobalMap 100 operates from AA batteries or from 5 to 35 volts DC using an optional external power cable. If the power cable is used, the
GlobalMap 100 automatically switches to it if the external power is greater than the battery voltage. If the external power fails, the unit automatically switches to the batteries.
BATTERIES
The unit requires four AA batteries. We recommend you use alkaline batteries for the best trade-off between battery life and cost. However, you can use nickel-cadmium (ni-cad), or lithium batteries. You can also use rechargeable alkaline batteries such as RayOVac ® Renewals ® . With the exception of lithium, none of the above batteries will last as long as standard alkaline batteries. We recommend DURACELL ® brand, but others will work. Do not use “heavy-duty” batteries or any type other than the
2
ones listed above. Do not mix different types of batteries. (For example, don’t use both alkaline and ni-cad batteries at the same time.)
Battery Installation
First turn the unit so that its back is facing you. Push the two tabs to the left and remove the battery cover as shown at right. Install the batteries according to this diagram. (There’s a decal in the battery compartment showing the correct polarity, also.) Replace the battery compartment cover and the unit is ready for use.
External Antenna
Although this GPS receiver is extremely sensitive, it can be used in locations where the built-in antenna simply cannot receive signals from enough satellites. A second connector on the back of the unit is for an external antenna. The Lowrance model EA-3 antenna plugs directly into this connector. Other antennas may work. If you use an antenna other than
Lowrance, it will need to be a passive antenna. This unit does not supply power to the antenna.
Note: There are two plastic caps that cover the power and external antenna connectors. Simply pry these caps off to gain access to the connectors.
OPERATION
Keyboard
There are 12 keys on the keyboard. You navigate through the menus, adjust the chart’s cursor, and enter data using the arrow keys. The five major modes of operation are accessed using the PAGES key. Press the
MENU key to select or adjust a feature from a list. The Z-IN and Z-OUT keys zoom-in or zoom-out the view on the plotter screen. The ENT and EXIT keys are
PAGES WPT used to enter or clear data or screens. Save and edit waypoints using the WPT key. The
PWR key turns the unit on and off. Pressing it once while the unit is on turns on the screen’s backlight. To prevent an accidental shutdown, you must hold the PWR key down for a few seconds to turn the unit off.

Menus
Most of the unit’s features are found on “menus’. You can view the menus by pressing the MENU key. This product has “Intelligent Menus”. There are many menus that pertain to only the map, for example. When you press the MENU key and the plotter is showing, menu items for the plotter show in addition to the normal menus. For example, if the navigation screen is showing, and you press the MENU key, plotter menu items won’t show on the list. This helps you find the needed item without scrolling through unnecessary menus.
Turning Power On
To turn the unit on, simply press the PWR key. A GPS logo screen appears, then the screen similar to the one at right appears. Read the message on the screen, then press the EXIT key to erase it or wait a few seconds and it automatically clears. The screen shown below appears next.
Satellite Status Screen
This screen appears each time you turn the unit on. It shows a graphical view of the satellites that are in view. Each satellite is shown on the circular chart relative to your position. The point in the center of the chart is directly overhead. The small inner ring represents 45° above the horizon and the large ring represents the horizon. North is at the top of the screen. You can use this to see which satellites are obstructed by obstacles in your immediate area if you hold the unit facing north.
The GPS receiver is tracking satellites that are surrounded by a black box. If the satellite number is not surrounded by a box, then the receiver hasn’t locked onto that satellite and it isn’t being used to solve the position.
Beneath the circular graph are the bar graphs, one for each satellite in view. Although the unit has twelve channels, it dedicates one channel per visible satellite. Therefore, if only six satellites are visible, only six bar charts show at the bottom of the screen. The higher the bar on the graph, the better the unit is receiving the signals from the satellite.
The number in the upper left corner is the “expected horizontal position error” or expected error from a benchmark location. In other words, if the expected error shows 50 feet, then the position shown by the unit is estimated to be within 50 feet of the actual location. Although the expected
4
error is only an estimate, it does give you an indicator of the fix quality the unit currently has. The smaller the expected error number, the better (and more accurate) the fix is.
If the expected error is flashing, then the unit has not locked onto the satellites, and the number shown is not valid.
The fix indicator on the left center shows either 2D or 3D. A 2D fix means the unit has locked onto three satellites and has calculated its position. A
3D fix means the unit has locked onto at least four satellites and has calculated both the position and altitude. (Remember, it takes three satellites to determine the position - four to determine position and altitude.) If neither 2D nor 3D are showing, then the unit doesn’t have the position or altitude.
A battery level indicator on the lower right side of the screen shows approximately how much life is in the batteries. This runs from “F” (fully charged) to “E” (expired).
A light bulb indicator at the top right corner of the screen appears when the backlights are on.
Finding Your Position
Auto Search
To lock onto the satellites, the GPS receiver needs to know it’s current position, local time, and date. (Elevation (altitude) is also used in the equation, but it’s rarely required to determine a position.) It needs this data so that it can calculate which satellites should be in view. It then searches for only those satellites. When your GPS receiver is turned on for the first time, it doesn’t know what your position or elevation (altitude) is. It does know the current UTC time and date since these were programmed into it at the factory and an internal clock keeps the time while the unit is turned off. It begins searching for the satellites using the above data that it acquired the last time it was turned on. This probably was at the Lowrance factory. Since it’s almost certain that you’re not at the Lowrance factory, it’s probably looking for the wrong satellites. If it doesn’t find the satellites it’s looking for after five minutes, it switches to Auto Search. The receiver looks for any satellite in the sky. Due to advanced technology, the auto search time has shrunk to about five minutes, so the longest time you should ever have to wait is ten minutes from the time you turn the unit on until it locks onto the satellites and shows a position. Once the unit locks onto the satellites, it should take less than a minute to find your position the next time it’s turned on, provided you haven’t moved more than approximately 100 miles from the last location it was used.
5
Manual Initialization
If you don’t want to wait for the Auto Search, then you may be able to speed up the initialization process by using the manual initialization feature. Using this feature tells the unit it’s approximate position. Once it knows it’s location, it determines exactly which satellites should be in view and starts looking only for those satellites.
To manually initialize the unit, press the MENU key. Now press the down arrow key until the “GPS SETUP” label is highlighted.
Press the right arrow key. The “INIT GPS” (Initialize
GPS) label is highlighted. Press the right arrow key again. The screen at right appears. Use the arrow keys to move the crosshairs to your approximate location on the map. You may use the ZOUT key to zoom the map out. This will make it easier and faster to find your location on the map. Once you have the crosshairs on your location, press the ENT key. The unit returns to the satellite status screen.
Using the manual initialization method loads a position that’s close to yours into the GPS receiver. It should now have position, time, and date, thereby giving it the data it needs to determine which satellites are in view. Once the satellites are known, the receiver searches for only those satellites, making a lock faster than an auto search method.
Position Acquisition
When the receiver locks onto the satellites and calculates a position, it shows the message “Position Acquired” on the screen. All position and navigation data flashes until the unit acquires a position. Do not rely on any data that is flashing! When the numbers are flashing, they represent the last known values when the unit lost it’s lock on the satellites.
(Note: The altitude data may still flash even if the unit shows a “Position
Acquired” message and all other data is not flashing. The unit must be locked onto at least four satellites to determine altitude. It only takes three satellites to determine position. You can navigate with this unit if the altitude is flashing, simply ignore the altitude display until it quits flashing.)
REMEMBER, DO NOT NAVIGATE WITH THIS UNIT UNTIL THE
NUMBERS STOP FLASHING!
Once the unit has acquired the satellites and is showing a fix on the status screen, or the position acquired message appears, it’s ready for use.
6
POSITION/NAVIGATION SCREENS
This unit has four modes: status, map, navigation, and window groups.
Use the PAGES and arrow keys to switch between the different screens.
The four screens that show by default are shown below.
STATUS NAVIGATION MAP WINDOWS
To change modes, simply press the PAGES key. A screen similar to the one at right appears. Use the up or down arrow keys to change modes. (The windows mode is shown as “groups”. Group “A” is the first windows group.)
Press the right arrow key while the above menu is showing to switch between different versions of each mode.
When the desired screen appears, press the EXIT key to erase the menu.
Navigation Screens
There are two different navigation screens. Nav screen number one shows a graphical view of your trip,
Nav screen number 2 shows all navigation details in large digital numbers. You can also customize both navigation screens to show data other than the default. See the
“Programming Boxes” section for more information.
NAV-1
7
NAV-2
Nav Screen #1
This screen has a compass rose that shows not only your direction of travel, but also the direction to a recalled waypoint. The navigation screen looks like the one at right when you’re not navigating to a waypoint.
Your position is shown by an arrow in the center of the screen. Your trail history, or path you’ve taken is depicted by the line extending from the arrow. The arrow pointing down at the top of the compass rose indicates the current track (direction of travel) you are taking.
This is also shown in the “TRK” (track) box in the upper right corner of the screen. On the example shown at right, the track is 355°. The current ground speed (GS) shows in the box in the lower center of this screen.
When navigating to a waypoint, Nav screen number one looks like the one at right. Bearing to the destination waypoint is in the box in the upper left corner. Bearing is also shown by the large arrow pointing up towards the compass, above the present position arrow.
Distance from the present position to the waypoint (DIS) shows beneath the compass on the lower left side of the screen.
Lines on either side of the present position show the current cross track error range. Cross track error is the distance you are off-course to the side of the desired course line. The course line is an imaginary line drawn from your position when you started navigating to the destination waypoint. It’s shown on the screen as a vertical dotted line. The default for the cross track error range is 0.25 mile.
For example, if the present position symbol touches the right cross track error line, then you are .25 mile to the right of the desired course. You need to steer left to return to the desired course. The cross track error is also shown in the “XTK” box. In the upper right corner is the course (CRS) box showing the direction from your starting position to the waypoint. Remember, a course is a proposed path from the starting position to the destination. Track is your actual direction of travel.
A circle depicting your destination (waypoint) appears on the screen as you approach the waypoint as shown on the screen at right.

Nav Screen #2
This navigation screen shows all navigation information in large digital numbers. To view this screen, press the PAGES key, then select the “NAV1” label. While it’s selected, press the right arrow key. The screen shown at right appears. Press the EXIT key to erase the menu.
This screen is composed of eight digital boxes. Track
(TRK) and ground speed (GS) data are all that show if you’re not navigating to a waypoint. If you are navigating to a waypoint, then bearing (BRG), distance to waypoint (DIS), estimated time en route (ETE), cross track error (XTK), destination arrow, and the CDI also show.
The destination arrow shows the direction to the destination when the top of the screen is pointing in your direction of travel.
Course Deviation Indicator (CDI)
Once navigation to a waypoint is established, the CDI shows your distance to the left or right of the desired course. The vertical line in the box shows both the direction you must steer to get back on course and the distance to the course line. For example, if you’re travelling straight towards the destination, from the start, then the line stays in the center. If you drift off course to the right, the line moves to the left. This signifies that you need to steer to the left to get back on course. This is called “chasing the needle”. If you steer towards the line (needle), you’ll always be heading in the correct direction to get back on course.
The CDI’s range shows beneath the CDI label. On the above screen, the
CDI range is .20 mile, which is the default. You can adjust the range by selecting the “ALARMS/CDI” label on the main menu. This is also shown by the dotted lines at the far left and right side of the CDI. If the solid line is on either of the dotted lines, then you are 0.20 mile off course. Remember, if the line moves to the left, then you are too far to the right of the desired course line and vice-versa.
Using the CDI with a mapping screen helps you visualize your position in relation to the course. This screen shows that we are off course to the right. The vertical bar has moved to the left side of the CDI, showing the direction to the desired course line. The CDI gives you a quick, visual indicator of your relationship between your direction of travel and the destination.
9
Map
The GlobalMap 100 has a ground map of the world built inside. This map has the majority of its detail in far southern Canada, the continental United States and Hawaiian islands, northern Mexico, the Bahamas, and Bermuda. The map screens show your course and track from a “birds-eye” view. If you’re navigating to a waypoint, the map shows your starting location, present position, course line, and destination. You don’t have to navigate to a waypoint, however, to use the map.
Using the map is as simple as pressing the PAGES key, then highlighting “MAP 1”. A screen similar to the one at right appears. The arrow flashing in the center of the screen is your present position. It points in the direction you’re travelling. The solid line extending from the arrow is your plot trail, or path you’ve taken. The plotter’s range shows in the lower left corner of the screen. In this example, the plotter’s range is two miles from the left edge of the screen to the right.
There are three different mapping screens. To view the other map screens, press the PAGES key, highlight the MAP label, and press the right arrow key until the desired map screen appears. Press the EXIT key to erase the menu. Map-2 (shown below) has navigation data added at the bottom of the screen, beneath the map. The data includes bearing to waypoint
(BRG), track (TRK), and distance to waypoint (DIS).
MAP-1 MAP-2 MAP-3
Map-3 is similar to Map-2. It shows ground speed (GS), track (TRK), and the CDI at the bottom of the screen.
The Z-IN and Z-OUT keys zoom-in and out all maps to enlarge or reduce their coverage area. The available ranges are: 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.6,
0.8, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60, 80, 100, 150, 200, 300,
400, 600, 800, 1000, 1500, and 2000 miles.
10
Cursor
Pressing an arrow key turns on two dotted lines that intersect at the present position symbol. These lines are called a “cursor” and have a variety of uses.
To turn the cursor on, simply press the arrow key in the direction you want the cursor to move. This lets you view areas on the plotter that are away from your present position. The zoom-in and zoom-out keys work from the cursor’s position when it’s active - not the present position. You can zoom in on any detail, anywhere. The cursor can also place icons and waypoints.
Press the EXIT key to erase the cursor. The unit centers your present position on the screen after erasing the cursor.
Map Setup
The map has many customization options. To change them, first press the MENU key while a map is showing on the screen. The map setup screen is highlighted.
Press the right arrow key. A screen similar to the one at right appears.
Change Maps
Changes made to the map using the options in the
Map Setup is normally made to all map screens. The change can be limited to the map screen currently in use, however, by switching the “All Maps” to “This Map” in the “Change” menu. To do this, simply highlight the “Change” label, then press the right arrow key. To switch back, repeat the above.
Map Options
The following map options are listed under the “Map
Options” menu: Map Orientation, Auto Zoom, View
Destination, Range Rings, and Grids.
Map Orientation
By default, this receiver shows the map with north always at the top of the screen. This is the way most maps and charts are printed on paper. This is fine if you’re always travelling due north. What you see to your left corresponds to the left side of the map, to your right is shown on the right side of the map, and so on. However, if you travel any other direction, the map doesn’t line up with your view of the world.
11
To correct this problem, a track-up mode rotates the map as you turn.
Thus, what you see on the left side of the screen should always be to your left, and so on. A course-up mode keeps the map at the same orientation as the initial bearing to the waypoint.
In the north-up view shown below left, we're travelling southeast towards camp, saved as waypoint number 14. In this view, the present position indicator appears to move towards the lower right corner of the screen.
NORTH-UP TRACK-UP COURSE-UP
In the track-up view, the present position moves straight towards the top of the display. A "N" shows to help you see which direction is north when the track-up mode is on. Remember, in the track-up mode, the screen rotates as you change direction. It always keeps your direction of travel
(track) heading towards the top of the screen.
In the course-up mode, the screen is locked into your original bearing to the recalled waypoint, regardless of your track.
To select the desired mode, first press the MENU key, select “MAP 1
SETUP”, then select “MAP OPTIONS”. Finally, select “ROTATE” and press the right or left arrow key until the desired mode appears. Press the EXIT key to erase this menu.
12
AUTOZOOM
This receiver has an autozoom feature that eliminates much of the button pushing that competitive units force you to make. It works in conjunction with the navigation features. First, recall a waypoint. (See the waypoint section for more information on navigating to a waypoint.) Then, with the autozoom mode on, the unit zooms out until the entire course shows, from the present position to the destination waypoint (recalled waypoint).
As you travel towards the destination, the unit automatically begins zooming in, one zoom range at a time, keeping the destination on the screen.
The screens below show a slice of the progression of a trip near a lake.
Screen number one is the start and is on the 6 mile range. Intermediate stages progressively zoom in as it gets closer to the destination.

To use the autozoom feature, first press the MENU key, select “Map 1
Setup”, then “Map Options”. Highlight “Auto Zoom”, then press the right arrow key to turn it on. Press the EXIT key repeatedly to erase the menus.
13
Range Rings/Grid Lines
The map screen can be customized with rings that are 1/4 of the range and/or grids that divide the plotter into equal segments of latitude and longitude. To do this, press the MENU key, select “Map 1 Setup”, then
“Map Options”. Highlight the desired option, then press the right arrow key to turn it on. Press the EXIT key repeatedly to erase the menus. A sample screen of each type shows below.
RANGE RINGS GRID
EARTH MAP OPTIONS
The earth map consists of the built-in background map of the world. To change the Earth map options, first press the MENU key, then select the Earth Map label.
Press the right arrow key. The screen shown at right appears.
Earth Map On/Off
The background map can be turned on or off using the
“Earth Map” menu. The earth map is the background map that shows on the map screens. Simply highlight the menu, then press the left arrow key to turn it off.

Text Labels
Select “Map Text” to turn all names on the map (such as Lake Tahoe or
Mississippi River) off or on. The default is “on”. Press the left arrow key to turn them off.
Locations
Normally, text disappears as you zoom out. This declutters the screen, making it easier to see significant map detail. Turning “Locations” on from the earth map menu places a dot on the screen where a text label should be when the screen is zoomed out. The arrows on the screen at right show two locations where, if zoomed in, text will show.
Map Detail
The detail shown on the background map diminishes as the screen is zoomed out. This prevents cluttering of the display, or overlapping of text and graphics which can make it unreadable. There are two detail levels: normal and high. The difference between the two shows below. The screen on the left is normal detail, on the right is high detail. Both screens are on the 40 mile range. Normally, you’ll only see a difference in detail when the unit is zoomed out to the 30 mile range or higher.
NORMAL DETAIL HIGH DETAIL
To change the map’s detail setting, select “Map Detail” from the earth map menu, then press the right arrow key.
15
Gray Fill
When this unit is first turned on, all water (lakes, oceans, rivers) is filled with gray to distinguish it from land, which is clear. (See below) To make the land fill with gray and water remain clear, select the “Gray Fill” label from the Earth Map menu, then press the left arrow key. Press the EXIT key repeatedly to return to the mapping screen.
Normally, you'll want to fill water with gray when you're using the GPS receiver on land and fill land with gray when you're using it on the water.

WITH IMS MAP
Currently, the MapCreate CD has the following databases:
IMS SmartMap™ data covers the 48 contiguous states and are broken down into 64 different mapping regions. Contained in this database are the names and locations of over 140,000 cities; 30,000 national, state and county parks; 120,000 inland bodies of water plus coastal waters out to 25 miles; as well as nearly all state and federal highways, interstates and routes.
IMS WorldMap™ data covers 35 specific regions around the globe including Canada, Europe, Indonesia and Australia. Contained in this database are the names and locations of cities, towns, provinces and states, plus major roadways including two- and four-lane highways, inland waterways and coastal hydrography.
20
Coastal Navaid data covers coastal regions of the 49 U.S. States (excluding Hawaii), the District of Columbia, the Great Lakes and many large coastal rivers and other large inland lakes. Contained are approximately
60,000 marine navigation aids. Each navigation aid is displayed as a small symbol, with information useful to the navigator (including light type (flashing or continuous), light color, and other aid markings) below the symbol.
To use one of these, install the software from the CD-ROM onto your PC compatible computer according to the insturctions supplied with the CD.
Next, connect an adapter cable from a serial port on the computer to the

Now highlight the “Reset Groups” label on this menu. Press the right arrow key. A message appears, asking if you really want to do this. Press the right arrow key to continue, or the left arrow key to exit without resetting the groups.
WAYPOINTS
This GPS receiver gives you the ability to create your own database of locations, called “waypoints’. You can save your present position, cursor position, or enter a coordinate and save it as a waypoint. For example, you may wish to store the location of your parked car as a waypoint before starting on a hike. When you want to return to the car, all you have to do is recall the waypoint and the unit will show distance and bearing from your present position to the car. This unit stores up to 750 waypoints.
Waypoint Menu
With few exceptions, in order to save, modify, or recall a waypoint, you’ll use the waypoint menu, shown at right. The current waypoint number shows at the top of the screen. Its name appears beneath the “GO TO
WPT” label. The waypoint’s position, distance and bearing from your present position to the waypoint, and the date and time the waypoint was saved show at the bottom of the screen. It’s icon shows just to the right of the distance and bearing. In short, all of the detail about the waypoint shows on this screen.
Saving Your Present Position as a Waypoint (Quick Save Method)
To save your present position, simply press the WPT key twice. Your current position is placed into the first available waypoint number on the list. A message appears on the display telling you the waypoint number it just used. This also momentarily places you in the waypoint menu. Anytime this menu is showing, simply press the WPT key once and the unit will store your present position on the waypoint list. In this case, waypoint number two was assigned when the position was saved.
29
Saving The Cursor Position as a Waypoint
When the cursor is showing on the map and you press the WPT key twice, the cursor’s position is placed into the first available waypoint number. In the example screen shown below, the cursor is placed at the desired location. Pressing the WPT twice causes waypoint number three to be placed at the cursor’s crosshairs. (Waypoint 3 was the next available waypoint number.) A message appears on the display telling you the waypoint number it just used. Wait a few seconds and the menu will clear automatically. Press the EXIT key to erase the cursor.

Saving Your Present Position as a Waypoint
(Select Number Method)
The method shown previously doesn’t let you choose the waypoint number. You can pick the waypoint number, then save your present or cursor position. To save your present position, press the WPT key once. (If you’re saving the cursor position, first move the cursor to the desired location, then press the WPT key.) A screen similar to the one at right appears.
Highlight the “WPT” label at the top of the screen. Press the right or left arrow keys until the desired waypoint number appears that you wish to save your present
(or cursor) location under. Waypoint number 4 is used in this example. Now select “CREATE WPT” . A screen similar to the one at right appears. Finally, highlight
“CURRENT POS” and press the right arrow key. The unit returns to the waypoint screen with the position saved under the selected waypoint number. Note: you can save the position on any waypoint number, even if a position is already stored on the desired number.
30
Saving a New Position
To save a position other than the cursor’s or the present position as a waypoint, first select the waypoint number as described on the previous page. Next, select
“CREATE WPT”. The screen shown at the bottom of the previous page appears. Select “ENTER POS”. The screen shown at right appears. Using the arrow keys, enter the latitude and longitude of the position that you want to save. (Note: latitude and longitude is the default, however if UTM or other position format is in use, this screen will let you enter the position in the format that’s currently in use.)
Waypoint Averaging
Although electronic position finding devices such as this one show the position in precise digital numbers, there is some ambiguity in the displayed position. With position pinning turned off, you can see this by watching the position displayed on the unit move while you’re standing still. This is due to many factors; SA, atmospheric conditions, the number of satellites being tracked and their location relative to your position, and so on.
However, even with SA turned on, this GPS receiver can show surprisingly accurate position information. If you wish to increase the accuracy of a saved position, use the waypoint averaging method. This method requires the unit to remain untouched at the location that you want to save, preferably for at least one hour. Longer times will result in a better position. The unit averages all of the positions reported by its GPS receiver, resulting in typically higher position accuracy.
To use this feature, first press the WPT key and select a waypoint number, then select “CREATE WPT”. The screen at the bottom of the previous page appears.
Now select “AVERAGE POS”. The screen shown at right appears. Your present position shows at the top of the screen. A box with a plotter graphically shows the movement of your average position. The number of positions or points taken appears beneath the plotter. The position is updated once per second. Now place the unit where it has an unobstructed view of the sky.
At the end of the position gathering time, press the ENT key to save the averaged position.
31
Project a Waypoint
You can save a waypoint even if you don’t know it’s position or location on the map. This unit lets you project the location of a waypoint from a known waypoint using only bearing and distance from the known waypoint. This is useful if you don’t know the latitude/longitude of a location, but you do know the distance and bearing from a saved waypoint or your own position.
(Note: To project a waypoint from your present position, you must first save your present position as a waypoint.)
To use this feature, press the WPT key, then select a waypoint number that you want to save the projected waypoint under. Waypoint 5 is used in this example.
Now select “CREATE WPT”. Finally, select “PROJECT
POS”. The screen shown above appears.
The unit needs a location (reference waypoint) to project the new waypoint from. The default reference is waypoint number one. Highlight the “REFERENCE
WPT” label on the Project WPT menu and press the right arrow key. The screen at right appears. Select a waypoint using either the waypoint number, or waypoint list. When you’ve chosen the waypoint, highlight the “SET REFERENCE” label and press the right arrow key. The unit returns to the Project WPT screen shown above. The starting waypoint you chose shows in the middle of this screen. Now set the distance from the starting waypoint to the projected waypoint by highlighting the “SET DIST” label and pressing the right arrow key. Use the arrow keys to set the distance, then press the ENT key when you’re finished. The unit returns to the Project WPT screen. Now enter the bearing from the starting waypoint to the projected waypoint by selecting “SET BRG” from the Project WPT screen. Once you’ve entered the bearing, the unit returns to the Project WPT screen with the distance and bearing showing at the bottom of the screen, as shown at right. In this example, a distance of 2.5 miles and a bearing of 50° was used. Now press the ENT key. The unit saves the projected location under the waypoint number that you picked at the beginning.
32
SELECTING A WAYPOINT
In order to edit or navigate to a waypoint, you must first select it. There are three ways to do this: by waypoint number, waypoint list, or search by name. All selection methods are on the main waypoint menu shown at right.
Waypoint Number
To select a waypoint by its number, simply highlight the “WPT” label at the top of the waypoint menu, then press the left or right arrow keys until the desired waypoint number appears.
Waypoint List
The waypoint number selection method forces you to scroll through all waypoint numbers, whether there’s a location saved in them or not. The waypoint list is composed only of saved waypoints. To use the list, select
“WPT LIST” from the waypoint menu. The screen shown at right appears. The names of all waypoints stored in memory show on this list. Simply highlight the desired waypoint and press the right arrow key to select it. The waypoint menu reappears.
(Note: When created, a waypoint is given a default name designated by an asterisk (*). Default names are not shown on the map. The waypoint number is shown until it’s renamed.)
EDITING A WAYPOINT
You can customize a waypoint by giving it a name or change it’s position or icon. To do this, first press the WPT key. The waypoint screen appears.
Follow the instructions below for each item.
Edit Position
Any latitude/longitude can be assigned to any waypoint by manually entering it using the keyboard. First select the waypoint number that you want to save a position under from the waypoint menu. Next, highlight
“EDIT POSITION” and press the right arrow key. The screen shown at right appears. Using the left and right arrow keys, highlight each number in the position and change it using the up and down arrow keys. When you’re ready to save this position and return to the waypoint screen, press the ENT key. Note: You can also use this method to change the position of an existing waypoint.
33
Edit Name
You can assign a name to each waypoint. The name can have up to eight characters. To do this, first select the waypoint that you wish to name, then choose “EDIT
NAME” from the waypoint menu. A screen similar to the one at right appears.
Press the up or down arrow keys to select the first letter in the name. Press the right arrow key to highlight the next position in the name. Repeat this sequence until you’ve entered all of the letters in the waypoint name. Press the ENT key to accept this name, the WPT key to erase all characters in the name, or the EXIT key to leave this screen without saving any changes.
Edit Icon
To change the icon assigned to a waypoint, first select the waypoint, then choose “EDIT SYMBOL”. The screen at right appears. Use the arrow keys to select the icon that you want to assign to the waypoint, then press the
ENT key. The waypoint now has the new icon.
WAYPOINT NAVIGATION
The GlobalMap 100 makes it easy to navigate to any waypoint. All you have to do is select the waypoint (see page 31), then highlight the “GO TO
WPT” label on the waypoint screen and press the right arrow key. The unit immediately shows navigation information to the waypoint on all navigation, map, and windows screens.
In this example, waypoint number 4 was recalled.
Switching to the MAP-2 screen (at right) shows the starting location “S”, the recalled waypoint “4”, the plot trail from the starting location to the present position, and the present position. The present position arrow also shows the direction of travel (track).
Navigating to a cursor location
This unit lets you navigate to a location without storing it in the waypoint database by using the map and cursor. To do this, first switch to a map. Now move the cursor to the location that you want to navigate to. Next, press the MENU key. A new, highlighted menu appears
34
on the list: “Go To Cursor”. Press the right arrow key. It now shows navigation data to the cursor location (shown as “D” on the map). See the screens below.

Navigating to a Waypoint using the Map
The unique “birds-eye” view used by the map gives you an easy way to navigate to a waypoint. On the map screen shown at right, the arrow is your present position. The box with the “S” in it was your starting location when the waypoint was recalled. The dotted line is called a course line and is the shortest path from the starting location to the destination. The number “4” is waypoint number four, which is the recalled waypoint and the destination. The “D” on the map screen at the top of this page is the cursor destination, when the cursor position is used as a destination. If you follow the course line, you’ll reach the destination, covering the shortest distance in the least time.
CAUTION!
This product does NOT take land features, restricted or prohibited areas, or any other feature into account when it projects the course line on the screen. Use caution when navigating to a location. Make certain there are no obstructions in your path.
OTHER WAYPOINT OPTIONS
Move a Waypoint
You can move all information from one waypoint number to another to help organize the waypoints. In this example, we’ll move all of the information in waypoint number 1 to waypoint number 10. To do this, highlight the “MOVE WPT” on the waypoint screen and press the right arrow key.
35
The screen shown at right appears. The “From” label is highlighted at the top of the screen. Press the right arrow key until the waypoint number that you want to move appears. In this example, we selected waypoint number 1. Now press the down arrow key once to highlight the “To” label. Press the left or right arrow key until the number that you want to move the waypoint to appears.
Again, in this example, we chose to move waypoint number 1 to waypoint number 10, so we pressed the right arrow key until “10” appeared. As you can see on the screen above, waypoint number 1 is showing in the
“From” box. Now press the ENT key. The “From” box is now empty and the “To” box has waypoint number 10.
Note: The names in the “From” and “To” boxes are not the waypoint numbers - they are the waypoint names.
Press the EXIT key to erase this menu.

Add From Map
You can add waypoints from the map, even create new ones. To do this, select “ADD FROM MAP” from the menu as shown below left. A screen similar to the one below center appears. Using the arrow keys, move the cursor to the desired waypoint or location. Now press the ENT key to add it to the route. If it’s an existing waypoint, it will be added to the route. If you mark a location with the cursor that isn’t a waypoint, the unit will create a waypoint and add it to the route. To add another location or waypoint to the route, move the cursor to that location and press the ENT key. When you’re finished, press the EXIT key. The screen below right appears.
The total route distance shows at the bottom of the screen. Continue selecting waypoints until all of the waypoints in the route are on the list.
Press the EXIT key to return to the Route menu. Your route is now saved in memory. Press the EXIT key to erase the menus.
Delete a Waypoint
To remove a waypoint from a route, first select the route, then select the waypoint that you want to delete and press the right arrow key. Highlight the “Delete” label on this menu and press the right arrow key. The unit
38
returns to the route list with the waypoint removed from the list. (Note: This doesn’t delete the waypoint from the database, it simply removes it from the route.)
Waypoint Statistics
By default, this unit shows the distance and bearing from each waypoint in the route to the next. It will also show estimated time en route (ETE), estimated time of arrival (ETA), or the waypoint names (NAMES). To view the different statistics, highlight the “SHOW-DIS/BRG” label, then press the left or right arrow key until the desired statistic appears.
Following a Route - Direct To Method
Before starting the route, you’ll need to decide if you want to start at the first waypoint and travel forward to the last waypoint or start at the last waypoint in the route and travel backwards (reverse) to the first waypoint. The default is forward. You can also start at the closest waypoint to your position, then travel forward or reverse through the route using the “AUTO START” feature.
To follow a route, first select the route number that you wish to follow by highlighting the “Route #” label, and pressing the left or right arrow keys until the desired route number appears. In this example we’re using route number one. To run the route from the last waypoint to the first, highlight the “RUN” label and press the right arrow key to change it from forward to reverse.
Now highlight the first waypoint in the route that you wish to start with and press the right arrow key. (The first waypoint in the route is used in this example.) The screen shown above right appears. Now select “DI-
RECT TO” and press the right arrow key.
The unit returns to the last used navigation, mapping, or windows screen. In this example, map screen 2 was in use. A box with the “S” inside represents your location when you started the route. A dotted line shows from your starting position to the waypoint. A dashed line extends from this waypoint to each of the other
39
waypoints in the route. Follow these lines to get to each of the waypoints.
When you enter the radius set by the arrival alarm, the unit automatically switches to the next waypoint on the list, showing navigation data to that waypoint, and so on until the last waypoint on the route list has been reached. (Note: The arrival alarm does not have to be turned on.) The unit continues to show navigation data to the last waypoint in the route until you end the navigation. (See “Cancel Navigation)
Following a Route - Auto Start Method
You don’t have to choose the starting waypoint in a route. Selecting “AUTO START” on the route planning menu, starts navigation along the leg of the route that is closest to your present position. The screen shown below left shows the result of the auto start feature.
When the route was started, the first leg of the route
(from waypoint #4 to waypoint #2) was the closest to the present position. Therefore, the unit shows navigation information to waypoint number 2. The first leg of the route, from #4 to #2 is shown on the screen by a dotted line. Once you arrive at waypoint number 2, the unit switches to the next waypoint in the route, and so on. The rest of the route navigation is used normally.
Waypoint Information
To see details about the highlighted waypoint, select the waypoint from the list of waypoints on the route screen, then press the right arrow key. The screen at right appears. Now select “WPT INFO”. The screen at the top of the next page appears.
40
The selected waypoint number appears at the top of this screen. Information about the waypoint shows at the bottom of the screen. When you’re finished with this screen, press the EXIT key to erase it.
Delete a Route
To erase a route, highlight the “ROUTE #” label on the route planning menu, then select the route you want to erase. Next, highlight the “DELETE ROUTE” label and press the right arrow key. A message appears, asking if you really want to erase the route. If you press the right arrow key, the route will be erased. If you select
“Yes” (by pressing the right arrow key) the unit then asks if you want to erase the waypoints used in the route from memory also. Press the right arrow key again to erase them, or the left arrow key to leave the waypoints in memory. The unit returns to the routes menu.
Press the EXIT key to erase the menu.
CANCEL NAVIGATION
This unit continues to navigate to a recalled waypoint, the last waypoint in a route, or the cursor position until you stop it.
To stop the navigation function, press the MENU key, then press the up or down arrow keys until the “Cancel
Nav” label is highlighted. Press the right arrow key. The unit stops showing navigation information.
Navigation Notes
If you are navigating with this unit, either to a waypoint or in a route and shut it off, it will preserve the current waypoint number that it is navigating to. It also saves the current route (if it is in use) and the route’s forward or reverse order. When you turn the unit on, it will show navigation data to the waypoint as soon as it locks onto the satellites as if it had never been turned off.
41
SYSTEM SETUP
Many features are listed under the “System Setup” label on the main menu. These commands affect the basic operation of the unit. To use them, press the MENU key, then “System Setup”. The screen at right appears.

The lights automatically turn off after 30 seconds to preserve the battery power. It will do this even if the external power is applied to the unit. The time delay is adjustable from 5 to 240 seconds by selecting Light
Dly from the System Setup menu . You can also turn the lights on continuously from this menu. Highlight this menu, then press the right arrow key to increase the time the lights are on, the left arrow key to decrease it.
Set Local Time
When this unit is first initialized, it may not show the correct time for your location due to daylight savings time, time zone variances, and so on. If the time shown on the clock displays is incorrect, select “SET LOCAL TIME” from the system setup menu and press the right arrow key. The screen shown at the top of the next page appears.
42
Use the left or right arrow keys to select the number in the current time that you want to change. Use the up or down arrow keys to change the number. Press the ENT key to save the change, the EXIT key to erase the menu without changing it.
Units of Measure
You can view data in three different formats: statute, nautical, and metric.
The default is statute. The chart below shows the settings for each.
Statute Nautical Metric
Distance ....... miles ................... nautical miles ... kilometers
Speed ........... miles per hour ..... knots ................ kilometers per hour
Altitude ......... feet ..................... feet ................... meters
The unit will also show bearing in degrees true or magnetic, and the clock in 12 hour (a.m./p.m.) or 24 hour formats. To change a unit of measure, first select
“CHANGE UNITS” from the System Setup menu. Highlight the desired selection, then press the left or right arrow key. You can change any or all of the settings on this page. When you’re finished, press the EXIT key.
NMEA / DGPS
This product transmits data through the power/data port in the back of the unit using NMEA 0183 format, version 1.5 or 2.0. The data is used by other electronic devices such as marine autopilots for position and steering information.
DGPS on the other hand, is a data input. DGPS is an acronym for Differential Global Positioning System. Currently, it relies on a system of groundbased transmitters that send correction signals to small DGPS receivers.
DGPS gives you more accurate positions than is otherwise possible.
All wiring connections to this GPS receiver are made through the power
43
cable. See the sample wiring diagrams on the next page for general wiring procedures. Read your other product’s owner’s manual for more wiring information.
Once the cables are wired, turn the unit on, press the menu key, and select “NMEA / DGPS CONFIG” from the System Setup menu. A screen similar to the one shown below appears.
NMEA Output
To turn the NMEA output on, highlight the “NMEA OUT” menu (shown at right), then press the right arrow key.
If your other equipment works, then no setup will need to be performed. If your other equipment doesn’t recognize the NMEA data being sent by the GlobalMap
100 and the wiring is correct, then you may need to change the NMEA or the serial communication settings.
Configure NMEA Output
Highlight the “Configure NMEA” menu, then press the right arrow key. The screen shown below appears.
NMEA 0183 Version
There are two versions of the NMEA data, 1.5 and 2.0.
If your other equipment requires 1.5, press the left arrow key to select it.
GLL, RMC/RMB, APB, GGA, GSA/GSV
Sentences
Some equipment requires different sentence. The default setting for these sentences is on. In other words, it automatically sends these sentences when NMEA is turned on. To turn any of these off, move the black box to the desired menu and press the left arrow key. Press the EXIT key when everything on this screen is the way you want it.
DGPS
This unit will recognize Starlink ® and Magnavox ® automatic DGPS receivers. If you have either one of these receivers, simply highlight the “Star
DGPS” or “Magn DGPS” on the NMEA / DGPS menu (shown at the top of this page) and press the right arrow key to turn it on. (Note: If you have a
Magnavox DGPS receiver connected, the GlobalMap 100 can’t send
NMEA data.) With the exception of serial communications, typically no other setup needs to be made with these receivers.

A message appears, asking if you want to restore the original options.
Press the right arrow key if you do, the left arrow key to quit.
If you restore the unit to the factory settings, all options such as contrast, alarms, and other system choices are returned to their default values.
However, no waypoints, routes, or icons are erased.
46
Reset Groups
To return all window groups and boxes on the navigation and mapping screens to their factory defaults, select Reset Groups on the System
Setup menu. Finally, press the right arrow key. All window groups and digital boxes are reset to their factory settings.
System Info
The system information screen shows the release date and the software’s version number. To view this screen, highlight the System Info label on the
System Setup menu. Now press the right arrow key. Press the EXIT key when you’re finished reading this screen.
GPS SETUP
Items found under the GPS Setup menu include initialization, (covered at the beginning of this manual), position format, power save, datums, and more. To use any of these features, first press the MENU key, highlight GPS Setup and press the right arrow key. The screen shown at right appears.
POWER SAVE
This GPS receiver has an important power save feature that significantly improves battery life. However, this feature does affect the receiver's performance. If you are using it under heavy cover, such as trees or around tall buildings, the receiver can lose its lock on the satellites easier when the power save feature is enabled. The power save feature changes the position update rate. We recommend you test the power save feature in known surroundings and determine its capabilities before venturing into unknown territory.
To turn the power save feature on, select "PWR SAVE" from the GPS
SETUP menu and press the right arrow key to turn it on. Press the EXIT key to erase the menu.
The letters "PS" for "Power Save" show on the satellite status screen whenever the power save mode is on. You can also verify the power save mode status by viewing the GPS Setup menu.
To turn the power save mode off, simply return to the GPS Setup menu as described above, highlight the "PWR SAVE" label, and press the left arrow key.
47
Position Format
The GlobalMap 100 can show the position in degrees, minutes, and thousandths of a minute (36° 28.700') or degrees, minutes, seconds, and tenths of a second (36° 28' 40.9"). It can also show position in UTM (Universal
Transverse Mercator) projection, British, Irish, Swedish, Swiss, Finnish,
New Zealand, and Military Grid.
UTM’s are marked on USGS topographic charts. This system divides the
Earth into 60 zones, each 6 degrees wide in longitude.
German, Taiwan, British, Irish, Swedish, Swiss, New Zealand, and Finnish grid systems are the national coordinate system used only in their respective countries. In order to use these grid systems, you must be in the respective country. This unit will pick the matching datum for you when you select the grid. See the Datums section for more information.
The military grid reference system (MGRS) uses two grid lettering schemes, which are referred to as standard and alternate MGRS on the
GlobalMap 100. Your position and datum in use determines which one to use. If you use the standard, and your position is off significantly, then try using the alternate.
Note: When the position format is changed, it affects the way all positions are shown on all screens. This includes waypoints.
To change the format, highlight the “Position Format” label on the “GPS Setup” menu, then press the right arrow key. A screen similar to the one at right appears.
Press the up or down arrow keys to select the desired format. Press the EXIT key to erase the position format menu.
DATUM
Maps and charts are based on a survey of the area that’s covered by the map or chart. These surveys are called “Datums”. Maps that are created using different datums will show the same latitude/longitude in slightly different locations.
All datums are named. The GPS system is based on the WGS-84 datum, which covers the entire world. Other datums may also cover the entire world, or just a small portion. By default, your position shows using the
WGS-84 datum. However, it can show your position using one of 191 different datums.
48
To change the datum, first press the MENU key, then highlight the “GPS Setup” label and press the right arrow key. Now highlight the “Select Datum” label. Finally, press the right arrow key again. A screen similar to the one at right appears.
The WGS-84 label is highlighted. To change it, simply press the up or down arrow keys to highlight the desired datum, then press the ENT key. This selects the datum and erases the select datum menu. To erase the menu without changing the datum, simply press the EXIT key.
A list of the datums used by the GlobalMap 100 is in the back of this manual.
PCF (Position Correction Factor)
Another method used to make your display match a chart or map is called
“PCF” or Position Correction Factor. This unit gives you the capability to move or offset the position shown on the display to match one on the chart. The unit will add this offset to all position and navigation displays at all times.
Remember, the position error on any radio navigation system is very dynamic and the PCF offset should never be used in an attempt to cancel the error.
In general terms, PCF should only be used if your map indicates what the possible error is. PCF should always be reset to zero when you’re finished with the chart.
For example, suppose you are stopped at a location that is accurately marked on a chart. Your unit shows a longitude position that is .244 minutes east of the one on the chart and .047 minutes north latitude. Using the PCF feature, you can make the GlobalMap 100 match the chart you’re using. If you move, the unit will continuously add the change to all position, navigation, and mapping displays. This makes it more closely match the datum used by the chart. For this reason, you should be careful when entering the PCF offset. It’s saved in memory and doesn’t change when the unit is turned off. However, resetting the unit does erase the PCF offset.
To change the PCF offset, first press the MENU key, then highlight the
“GPS Setup” label and press the right arrow key. Now highlight the “Set
49
PCF Offset” label. Finally, press the right arrow key again.
A screen similar to the one at right appears.
Now enter the correction for your location. Remember, this is the difference between the location shown on the present position display and the position shown on the chart. In this example, we entered 0 degrees, 0.047
minutes north latitude and 0 degrees, 0.244 minutes east longitude. That is the difference between the present position shown by the GlobalMap 100 and the one on our chart.
After you’ve entered the latitude/longitude correction, press the ENT key to accept it. The GlobalMap 100 erases the PCF entry screen and returns to the navigation or mapping screens with the correction factor applied.
POSITION PINNING
When using a GPS receiver at extremely low speeds, it can have trouble determining your course over ground, or direction you’re travelling. This is due in large part to SA, or selective availability. SA is small inaccuracies purposefully put into the GPS satellite’s signal by the government. This cause wide variations in the track display and other navigation displays when using the unit at slow speeds.
If you’re using this receiver without DGPS and stop, the position pinning feature locks the present position indicator on the plotter until you’ve moved a short distance or exceed a very slow speed. This prevents the “wandering” plot trail seen when you’re stopped with position pinning turned off.
This also affects the navigational displays.
The easiest way to see the effects of S/A is to stand still with the GPS receiver turned on and watch your plot trail with position pinning turned off. You’ll see the present position change, speed increase and decrease, and a random plot trail on the plotter’s screen.
If you wish to turn the position pinning feature off, press the MENU key, then highlight the “GPS Setup” label and press the right arrow key. Now highlight the “Pinning” label. Finally, press the left arrow key.
50
Map Fix
Map Fix is used with charts or maps. This system asks for a reference position in latitude/longitude, which you take from a marked location on the map. It then shows the present position as distance on the map from that reference point. For example, if it shows a distance of
UP 4.00” and LEFT 0.50”, you then measure up four inches and to the left a half-inch from the reference point on the map to find your location.
To use this format, you need to follow these steps in order. First, take your map of the area and determine a reference latitude/longitude. (Note: in order for this system to work, the latitude/longitude lines must be parallel with the edge of the map. USGS maps are parallel, others may not be. Also, this works better with smaller scale maps.) The reference position can be anywhere on the map, but the closer it is to your location, the smaller the numbers will be that you’ll have to deal with.
Once you’ve decided on a reference position, you’ll need to save it as a waypoint. See the waypoint section for information on saving a waypoint using the EDIT
Position method. Save the reference position as a waypoint. Exit from the waypoint screens.
Press the MENU key, then select GPS Setup. Now select “Map Fix Setup” . ”Reference Point” is highlighted.
Press the right arrow key. Select the waypoint number that you saved the reference point under. Select “SET
REFERENCE” and press the right arrow key. The unit returns to the Map Fix Setup menu. Now select “Map
Scale”. Enter the map’s scale. This is generally at the bottom of the paper map. It’s shown as a ratio, for example 1:24000. In this example, we entered 24000 as a map scale. (Ignore the 1:) The unit returns to the
Map Fix Setup screen.
Finally, press the EXIT key to erase this menu. Now select “Position Format”. Select Map Fix from the list and press the EXIT key. All position information now shows as a distance from the reference point you entered and saved as a waypoint earlier.
51
ALARMS
The GlobalMap 100 has several alarms. You can set an arrival alarm to flash a warning message and sound a tone when you cross a preset distance from a waypoint. For example, if you have the arrival alarm set to
.1 mile, then the alarm will flash a message when you come within .1 mile of the recalled waypoint. The course deviation indicator alarm (CDI) can warns when your track drifts too far to the right or left of the course line to the waypoint. For example, if the alarm is set to .1 mile, then the alarm flashes a message if you drift .1 of a mile or more to the right or left of the line to the waypoint. The anchor alarm is triggered when you drift outside of a preset radius. Again, using the .1 mile as an example, if you’re anchored and your boat moves more than .1 of a mile, the alarm will flash a message and sound a tone.
To use any of these alarms, first press the MENU key, then select the “ALARMS/CDI” menu. A screen similar to the one shown at right appears. Press the up or down arrow key to move the black box to the desired alarm, then press the right arrow key to turn it on.
To adjust an alarm’s distance, move the black box to the alarm’s “DIS” menu item, then press the right or left arrow keys to increase or decrease the alarm’s distance.
When you’re finished, press the EXIT key to erase this menu.
Important Alarm Notes:
Anchor Alarm - Since civilian users don’t receive the accuracy given to military users, the anchor alarm may be triggered even when you’re sitting still. This typically happens when using small (less than .05 mile) anchor alarm ranges. If you have a DGPS beacon receiver connected to the GlobalMap 100, smaller ranges may be usable.
Arrival Alarm - If you set the arrival alarm’s distance to a small number, and you run a route (see the routes section), the GlobalMap 100 may not show navigation data to the next waypoint, once you arrive at the first one, since you may not be able to come close enough to the first waypoint to trip the arrival alarm.
MESSAGES
The DGPS message selections are found on the Alarms/CDI menu shown above. Pressing the EXIT key erases these messages.
52
The DGPS message appears whenever the unit begins or stops using
DGPS data to help determine your position.
The default setting for these messages is “on”. To turn the message off, select the “Setup Alarms” menu from the main menu, then highlight “DGPS
MSG” and press the left arrow key.
SUNRISE/SET MOONRISE/SET CALCULATOR
This unit has a sunrise/sunset and moonrise/moonset calculator that shows this information anywhere or anytime in the world. To use it, press the
MENU key, then highlight “SUN/MOON CALC” and press the right arrow key. Highlight either the sun or moon calculator and press the right arrow key. The screen shown at right appears if you chose the sunrise calculator. (Both calculators work identically. The sunrise/sunset calculator is used for this example.) The sunrise and sunset for today’s date appear in the center of the screen. Today’s date shows at the top of the screen. If you want to know the sunrise/sunset for a different date, press the ENT key, then enter the new date with the arrow keys. The unit returns to the sunrise/sunset calculator screen with the sunrise and sunset times shown for the date you entered.
The sunrise and sunset show for your present position. If you move the plotter’s cursor to a different position before using this calculator, it will show the sunrise/sunset for the cursor’s location.
The moonrise/moonset calculator works identically to the sunrise/sunset calculator. It looks like the screen at right. A moon symbol shows near the bottom of the screen, showing the approximate phase of the moon.
The arrow next to the symbol shows if it is moving towards a full moon (up) or a new moon (down).
Press the EXIT key to erase this screen.
Note: The sunrise/sunset and moonrise/moonset calculators work using the present position or cusor position to make the calculations. Make certain the unit has locked onto the satellites and is showing the correct position before using the calculator.
53
SIMULATOR
A simulator is built into this unit that has several options. You can use nearly all of the unit’s features - even save and recall waypoints. This is useful for trip planning.
To use the simulator, press the MENU key, then press the up or down arrow keys until the “SIMULATOR
SETUP” menu is surrounded by the black box. Now press the right arrow key. The screen shown at right appears.
If you simply press the right arrow key, turning the simulator on, the GlobalMap 100 will start from your present position and follow a track of 355° at 100 miles per hour.
To change either the track or speed, highlight the one you want to change, then press the right or left arrow key. When the numbers are correct, press the EXIT key.
